Chapter 2152: Battle of the Two Cities! (Part 30)
The vast majority of Cat Getan's neighborhoods don't have cameras, but that doesn't include the mansion district where celebrities gather. For the sake of their own life and property safety, they also ensure that the security facilities here are working properly.
So, a few months after the incident, the Penguin from the main universe was able to witness the wonderful scene of this "feeding competition of the crouching dragon and phoenix."
Batman grabbed a hoodlum by the collar and asked him who killed his parents, and then someone darted out from the street corner. Batman immediately thought he was guilty, so he followed him.
The first dish served by the gangster was: while being chased by an unknown but strangely dressed monster, he completely abandoned the advantage of a local snake's knowledge of the terrain, stepped on a shop awning, darted onto the roof of the shop, and through a series of maneuvers, exposed himself to an excellent pistol shooting range and angle.
And Batman didn't want to be outdone—he didn't have a pistol.
Next was Batman's move. He also jumped onto the shop awning with a sprint and a big jump, but he was much stronger and heavier than the person mixing in the bottom of Cat Getan, so the awning collapsed under him, causing him to fail to jump onto the shop roof in the second stage.
The gangster didn't fall behind either. He poked his head out from the roof.
Batman went up and threw a punch, grabbed his collar, and pulled him down. The two fought in mid-air, and after both landed, the gangster on top got up first.
Then he climbed up again.
According to the Penguin's later speculation, it might be the location of his gang. There was someone guarding the roof door of that nightclub, so going through the roof could find reinforcements faster.
After the gangster climbed up, Batman finally climbed up. The gangster ran in front, Batman chased behind. The gangster jumped over the gap between two houses, and Batman stopped.
It wasn't that he couldn't jump over; it was mainly because he remembered he had a harpoon gun, so he fired a shot and leaped, falling into a trash can.
There were too many points to complain about in this battle. The Penguin from the main universe didn't know where to start. This pair of "crouching dragon and phoenix" fully explained what it meant to have "one mountain higher than another."
That Batman would believe a gangster killed his parents was already very bizarre. What was even more bizarre was that he actually felt it was such a gangster killer who killed his parents. What was bizarre to the extreme was that he went to chase, and what was bizarre to the extreme was that he didn't catch up.
The Penguin now understood. It wasn't that Mayor Penguin was too strong; it was that the Batman of this universe was simply too weak.
But it wasn't just Batman who was weak. After careful investigation, the Penguin discovered that in this city, one counted as one, from Wayne Manor to Arkham Asylum, from the upper-city mansions to the slum alleys, there wasn't a single one who wasn't weak.
Police who didn't investigate dared to chase, criminals who didn't commit crimes dared to run, police who could catch up dared not to catch up, criminals who could run away dared not to run away. Those at their wit's end were stubborn, and those who opened champagne at halftime were optimistic.
Mayor Penguin was the leader among those who opened champagne at halftime. Following the timeline to the present, the Penguin from the main universe discovered that since this mayor felt he was lying down to win, the only thing he had done was find a place to sit down and start laughing.
Saying it was one place wasn't quite accurate. For the past week, the Penguin had been holding victory banquets at various mansions and estates, which could be called a "Cat Getan tour of joy."
The Penguin really didn't understand. What are you laughing at? What is there to laugh about? You don't really think the advantage is with you, right?
The super criminal who created terrorist attacks in the city was taken down by S. H. I. E. L. D. on the other side. The notorious and ruthless crime boss was sanctioned by S. H. I. E. L. D. The several riots that occurred in the city were quelled by the Avengers.
The eyes of the masses are bright. Now there are twice as many masses in the two cities, and they all have votes. The election is in a month. There won't really be anyone who will vote for this old mayor who has no presence and only knows how to laugh foolishly, right?
The Penguin was very clear that the principle politicians adhere to is that they can not live, but they cannot have no "work," and they can have no conscience, but they cannot have no exposure.
Mayor Penguin's wave couldn't be called opening champagne at halftime anymore; the minion line hadn't even come out, and he was already considering what to eat after winning this game.
The Penguin became more anxious the more he looked. If you say he's weak, he happens to have dog-shit luck, encountering an even weaker Batman, and achieving many life achievements that even the Penguin couldn't get.
But if you say he's lucky, he's really too weak. No amount of good luck can make up for the gap in strength. Seeing that he is about to hand over this rare title to others.
The Penguin was worried in his heart and asked someone to check. Sure enough, Nick Fury was on the list of candidates for the next mayor of New City. He was both an intelligence chief and had made repeated meritorious services. Could this election race still be fought?
But the Penguin from the main universe could tell from his face that this one-eyed dragon running for mayor wasn't holding back any good farts. Who knew how he would target Cat Getan next? If he didn't go online to substitute, he was afraid that his own home would be gone in a month.
The Penguin thought about it and felt that he really had to replace him. He was also a person who did what he said, directly asking Emperor Penguin to kidnap Mayor Penguin.
This trip caused trouble.
"What did you say? Kingpin contacted him?? Then don't hurry... He wants to cooperate with Kingpin?!!"
By the end, the Penguin was screaming. He really wanted to rush over, grab the collar of the other version of himself in this universe, shake him hard, and ask him if the rain he hadn't used an umbrella for in Cat Getan for so many years had all turned into water in his brain.
Kingpin had already been chased by S. H. I. E. L. D. until he had nowhere to run. What are you waiting for if you don't take the opportunity to beat the drowning dog?!
As a result, the reason Emperor Penguin heard from the other side was also very sufficient—Mayor Penguin also knew that Nick was running for office, and he felt that Nick was his competitor, and Kingpin was Nick's enemy, so the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
The Penguin really wanted to kill this version of himself with one umbrella.
No matter how you compete with Nick, you are both official figures. What kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp is Kingpin?
You are already able to pull the banner of the government and use legal means to plunder. Why on earth do you want to jump back into the shit pit and cooperate with a pile of shit???
Furthermore, although there are no eternal friends among politicians, there are no eternal enemies. It doesn't mean that your opponent in a certain election is your eternal enemy.
From the several quick strikes against Kingpin before, couldn't you see that this one-eyed dragon was a tough guy with a hard bone? This kind of person is a figure everywhere he goes. How many pounds did he drink to choose Kingpin instead of him?
The Penguin knew he didn't have time to reason with the other version of himself, and this reason wouldn't make sense. The other party's long-atrophied cerebellum couldn't understand. Just kidnapping him back would be enough.
However, when the Penguin passed this order, it was one step late. Mayor Penguin already intended to go to Kingpin for negotiations. The Penguin from the main universe really had no tricks, and he could only go into battle himself, driving to their negotiation location to prevent them from coming up with any more bad ideas and adding trouble to his future work.
On the way to the mansion, the Penguin discovered a car following him. Inside the car sat two people in strange costumes: one wearing a red and black tight suit, and one wearing yellow and black armor.
At the time, the Penguin felt a bit strange, but this car quickly turned a corner and disappeared. The glimpse was too short, and the Penguin didn't see who it was specifically.
He did take a look at the direction of the fork the car turned to, and the water tower on the skyline indicated that it was a sewage treatment plant.
In order not to attract attention, the Penguin let his subordinates ambush near the mansion in advance, and he drove alone.
He parked the car on the bank of the Cat Getan River not far away, but discovered that the mansion for negotiations was heavily guarded.
This was really a bit troublesome. The Penguin thought it was probably because Kingpin had been chased into a frightened bird, too worried about a sudden attack by agents, so he surrounded the negotiation location tightly.
It wasn't easy for him to get in now. After thinking about it, the Penguin walked through the alley in front, came to the street opposite the mansion, and pretended to walk into a coffee shop, but his peripheral vision kept paying attention to the opposite side.
Paying attention to the opposite side didn't find any problems, but the Penguin's peripheral vision discovered that the manhole cover in the middle of the street seemed to be trembling slightly.
He thought this was Kingpin's special arrangement, stopped to check, and the next second, the septic tank exploded.
The Penguin standing under the sun umbrella of the coffee shop watched in shock as the mansion was blown away, completely dumbfounded.
At this time, two figures jumped out, wearing tight protective suits, rushing into the exploded mansion and chopping wildly like cutting melons and vegetables.
The Penguin was in no mood to care about these now. More than half of this street was blown into the sky by the compressed biogas, and the stench brought by the huge amount of filth drifting with the wind made him vomit directly.
Now the Penguin's first reaction was that someone was going to be very unlucky. Batman wouldn't allow someone... wait, the Batman of this universe might not allow it, but he had no way.
Kingpin's subordinates were very professional. After discovering that the target they were guarding was attacked, they rushed up with weapons, but they were better off not rushing.
Those two unlucky guys who blew up the septic tank were definitely prepared for this. They wore tight protective suits, each carrying a fire hose, and sprayed sewage onto the security guards with the pressure of a fire hose, continuously pushing them back.
Later, they played happily, directly using water guns to spray everywhere. If the Penguin hadn't run fast, he wouldn't have avoided shit hitting his head.
The Penguin was now a bit desperate.
Cat Getan didn't need Batman, the Penguin had once thought so, but now he found he was completely wrong. Cat Getan not only needed Batman, but also needed Batman's violent means to the extreme. Otherwise, if everyone played with shit in the city, how could people live?!!
As the saying goes, only when you encounter a real brat do you understand the gold content of the sentence "a stick produces a filial son." The Penguin had never expected that dark figure to descend as much as he did today, beating those two guys across the street and throwing them into the sea.
But Batman didn't descend. Those two guys were already rushing to the middle of the street with water guns, only four or five meters away from the Penguin, completely within the range of the water guns.
Batman!! Save us!!!!
The Penguin, fleeing in a panic, roared while shouting to Robin on the other side.
"CALL BATMAN!!! TELL HIM TO COME BACK!! IMMEDIATELY!! RIGHT NOW!!!!" ===== CHAPTER 2153 =====
